About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
